Tonight we had a lovely new task at a nursery school near Birmingham city centre.

Jonny and Christina arrived on their bikes, while the rest of the group ran or walked.

Laura, the school's headteacher greeted us and the task was to sand the greenhouse and the 'story book chair' before getting the Ronseal creasote out, hence the pun! Do you remember the advert?!

Christina did some weeding with a spactula which she mentioned was a first! Jonny, Miriam and Eve did some sanding, while James and Amy cresoted the greenhouse, with Miriam and Christina sorting the story book chair.

Now please take a look at those fantastic before and after pics :)

Two goodgymers made their own way to the Friends of the Earth warehouse in digbeth and helped Karen tidy up the front garden. We used shears and clippers to give the plants and trees a good haircut!

On a cold Spring night 6 GoodGymers set out in Stirchley to do a litter pick!

With no run on the agenda the exercise was to walk the streets and sweep up any litter.

Overall in 30 minutes we collected three bags of rubbish and earned a well deserved drink in the pub afterwards.

Special shout out to Richard for being Miriam for the day and bringing the litter pickers and hoops!!

Three goodgymers (Amy, Eve & Jim) met at the Friends of the Earth Warehouse and helped with some cleaning tasks! Myself and Eve got to cleaning the windows with newspaper whilst Jim helped Karen move some tables. We then all helped scrape chewing gum and stickers off some old school tables and wiped them down ready to be re-used in their meeting room!

Tonight we were asked to record some bits for ITV Central! This included Steve from Dads Lane speaking about some of the work we've done there in the past and how much we have helped - I've chosen to include some old photos for a bit of a walk down memory lane. Can anyone believe it's been 5 years since we got involved!

We had a new GoodGymer join us! Kourosh was a great help in the cleaning and then joined us all on our 4k run round Stirch. Massive respect to him and hope to see you again soon!!
